Re: Reception Card Wording HELP!!

What are you not happy with? It looks great to me and it has the exact time. Only thing is 5:30 still considered afternoon? I don't know the 'rules' for that one

To me 5:30 is evening but I'm sure I'm wrong!

I think it sounds fine to me, but I would make it evening instead of afternoon.
